Chapter 48: Tang San’s Conditions

The man with the tiger mask nodded, saying, "Of course I know. But in the past few decades, have you ever heard of any Redemption Society member being captured and implicating others?"

Wang Yanfeng was taken aback; his knowledge about the Redemption Society was limited.

"Gui Gui is one of ours. Over many years, the Redemption Society has developed its own strict rules. Every society member, from their identity to their tasks, has a careful arrangement to ensure their safety. Yes, we have an assassination team, but that's not all. We also have a well-organized intelligence task force. The bloodline and beliefs of humans bring us together. There are those who, after awakening to the Demonic God Transformation, choose to side with the enemy. But the vast majority still choose to be human, because we are fundamentally still humans, and demons or nymphs can never truly accept us." The most uptodate novels are published on n0velbjn((.))com

Wang Yanfeng took a deep breath and asked, "If I join you, what do you need me to do?"

The man with the tiger mask replied, "I'm here for two main reasons. The first is to hope that you will join. You won't need to do much. Just continue to manage our human vassals here, expand their numbers as much as possible, educate them to gain enlightenment, and instill some of our ideas in them. This shouldn't be difficult for you, considering that it’s your job in the first place."

Wang Yanfeng slightly relaxed and nodded.

"And the second reason?"

The man with the tiger mask said, "Gui Gui mentioned that you have taught a very outstanding disciple. This child, despite his young age, already possesses fourth-order strength. The Society has decided to focus on cultivating him, and I am here to take him with me.”

Wang Yanfeng's heart tightened. "Are you talking about Tang San?"

He couldn't help but silently blame his sister, Gui Gui, for not revealing anything to him before.

"He's still young, and he doesn't even have the status of a vassal yet..." Wang Yanfeng said.

The man with the tiger mask waved his hand, saying, "You needn't worry about that. The Society will handle it. Moreover, whether the Society can fully groom him depends on whether his talents are sufficient. Therefore, I need to test him first."

Wang Yanfeng asked gravely, "What if I don't agree to join you?"

The man with the tiger mask replied, "That's okay too. Given your sibling relationship with Gui Gui, betraying us offers you no benefit. I believe you will still keep our secret. As for the child, if I confirm that he has enough potential, I will still bring him with me."

"How will you test me?" Just then, a young voice rang out. In the next instant, a figure deftly landed in the room, closing the window behind him—it was Tang San.

The tiger-faced man looked at him and sighed softly, "Child, I support your quest for revenge. But remember, do not let hatred blind you. Our Redemption Society has much grander goals."

Tang San nodded silently, "I understand, but this is my reason for joining the Redemption Society. If you agree to my terms, I will join you."

The tiger-faced man nodded, "Alright, we'll set aside your conditions for now. You must first pass my test. Once you've passed, then we can discuss your terms."

Tang San naturally understood that he was being assessed for his potential.

When he first entered Kali City and met Gui Gui, he instantly suspected that she might have hidden intentions. And what he found later only served to reinforce these suspicions.

During his time in Kali City, he had seen many vassals, but none of them actually owned the businesses they were working for. There were only two exceptions: one was Mei Gongzi and her mother at Mei Gongzi's Milk Tea Shop, and the other was Gui Gui with her inn.

In his view, Mei Gongzi's Milk Tea Shop posed the greatest concern. It was located in the very heart of Kali City. The fact that a shop could operate there without any demon disturbances proved without a doubt the uniqueness of this establishment.

As for Gui Gui, although her status was not extraordinary, the fact that she owned a small inn within Kali City that was frequented by human vassals clearly raised questions.

At that time, Tang San had already considered that Gui Gui might be connected to the Redemption Society or backed by unseen forces. Since Gui Gui was the sister of Wang Yanfeng, the likelihood of her having a major power behind her was slim, hence the stronger suspicion towards her hidden intentions

Therefore, when Tang San participated in the Collision Contest, he also wanted to test Gui Gui's intentions, which was why he wanted to show her his capabilities.

Now that a member of the Redemption Society sought him out, he was less surprised and more pleased. This was precisely what he had hoped to see.

Resolving his own identity issues and managing an early visit to Kali City would not be easy if he relied solely on Wang Yanfeng and himself. It was not an easy feat and it could easily lead to future troubles.

On the other hand, while the Redemption Society was not very powerful, their continuous existence as the only human revolutionary organization suggested that they had some things to rely on.

And it was precisely these resources that Tang San needed the most right now.

Thus, his participation in the Collision Contest was not a momentary impulse but a well-thought-out move, and it had achieved multiple objectives in a single go.
